The reality is that those are financial decisions. If it's wrong, they've wasted a bunch of time, money, and other resources. In this situation, they're probably getting enough financial backing to make it worth their while regardless.

Easily getting the backing and winning the lottery if they are right

Basically, I interpret my results as I likely had it and now my antibodies are fading to the point that I'm likely now able to be reinfected or that I'll soon be to that point. In all likelihood, all the lockdown did for me personally was cost me my job and kept me isolating long enough to have my resistance to the virus dissipate. Fuging awesome.

Yeah, for lots of viruses infection doesn't necessarily equal immunity. You have antibodies that provide resistance for a period of time, but they don't last forever.

Here's the explanation of my test results per my test results:

BORDERLINE. Borderline results show that the test detected some IgM antibodies. The level of antibodies found are below the level used to indicate positive results. These results may indicate a very early infection or cross reactivity.

So, basically I either had it long enough ago for my antibodies to drop below the threshold (I think I had it in mid-late January) or it's a false positive. My wife took the test the same day but her results haven't come in yet. Curious to see hers. If hers are borderline as well, I'll follow up to try to get more details.

I thought I read that a result like that meant it could have been a former, similar SARS type virus or the real thing.  It meant you had something, but not necessarily Covid 19.  Could be wrong as there are so many "ifs" out there now cause it is too early for anything to be definitive

Yeah, there's a chance it could be due to similar antibodies from some other flu/cold bug. That's why I'm curious to see how my wife's results come back. If hers come back definitive one way or the other then I'll assume I'm in the same both since we had the same bug back in mid-late January. If hers come back borderline as well then I'll follow up to see exactly what the results were. Were we just shy of the threshold and basically deemed not a positive result by technicality or were we off by a mile?

Read back a few pages and totally agree with the sentiments regarding stay at home.  When and why did we move the goalposts from flatten the curve to minimize death at all costs?  Is it because we are in an election year? I hate to be cynical but I feel like it's politician CYA time and they are playing a game that has a very high costs.

I plan on getting this test this week.  I came back from Florida mid-February and developed a nasty cough that lasted for about 3 weeks but no other symptoms.  Did you just pay out of pocket at a private lab?

I paid out of pocket at National Jewish Hospital down in Denver. They developed their own test. They're one of the top respiratory hospitals in the nation.

Same, I thought I had bronchitis for a couple of weeks.

If I had this poo, I was probably a super spreader. I traveled a poo ton in Q1 and I had COVID-like symptoms during much of the travel. All over the Seattle area in mid-January (where I think I picked it up), Spokane, all over Arizona (Phoenix area, Sedona, Flagstaff, Prescott), all over Colorado, North Carolina, Florida, Dallas area, Costa Rica. I didn't suspect COVID until well after I was fully recovered. While I had symptoms, the protocols were that you weren't suspected of having COVID unless you had traveled to an area with confirmed outbreak. At the time, when I had traveled to Seattle that was prior to their confirmed outbreak.

      Mike Tomlin stepping down as HC of the Steelers

      We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one.

      I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
